Questions
Is it really free with no account?
Yes. No account, no watermark, no limit on the number of highlights.
Do you see my highlights?
No. The file never leaves your browser.
Does it work with the Kindle app on my phone?
No. The phone app does not create My Clippings.txt. It works with the file from a Kindle e-reader.
What is in the CSV?
One row per highlight or note with book, author, type (highlight or note, always in English), page, location, date and text, ready for Excel, Google Sheets or Notion.
This tool is not made by or connected to any e-reader maker. Use it only with your own highlights.
